Man I hate those rollers...

But I was able to ride pain-free for 30 minutes! If that's still the case on Friday, I'm out again during the weekend! Can't wait!

Plica synovialis & the Belgian coast

Back from an 18K ... BIKE RIDE! Had to take the shortest route to my parents today, because of knee-pain. My "famous" right knee, that kept me off the bike for almost 8 weeks in 2009 (after which I had my best results ever...). Anyway, I had the same problem last year after a (very windy) mountainbike tour in January. Plica Synovialis? who knows... by the time I got to go to Dr. Rousseaux in Drongen (a knee specialist), my symptoms where gone and I was able to finish the cycling season without any further problems.

The cause this time is my trip out to the coast with some cycling friends yesterday. 170K (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/67153916), in a 5 to 6 beaufort wind. I hope for an accute problem, that will go away as soon as it came up... Next week will be all about resting, and trying to "actively repair" the damage done, by just pedalling on the rollers.

Trip out to the coast was great, although in the end first Tim and then I could no longer follow Steven's pace, even though there was a head/side wind! First > 150K ride of the season is over with, from now on it can only get better!
